Guess he saves “Any way the wind blows” for his waking hours.
I would’ve thought he’d sing “Did You Ever Have to Make Up Your Mind?” by the Lovin’ Spoonful.
Jeff, I realize that you are a bit obessive-complusive, and I greatly benefit from it, but I desperately need you to give me a bit more of Richard Brautigan; please?
If John Kerry has ever voluntarily listend to Queen, I’d be shocked. I mean, the guy’s a war hero, and “Bohemian Rhapsody” just isn’t well, manly enough.
I see him as more of a Ted Nugent “Wang Dang Sweet Poontang” kind of guy.
Say, did you know John Kerry was in Vietnam?
“I’m just a rich boy, nobody loves me…”
Scaramouche
Isn’t that what Theresa does before she puts on her makeup in the morning?
“Caught in a landslide, no escape from reality…”
Set your alarm clock for Nov. 3, Johnny if you want to miss the really scary part.
When I told to my husband a while back that I think both Kerry and Edwards are gay, he cautioned me to keep those thoughts to myself lest I sound like a homophobe—which I’m not.
Reading some of the stuff I don’t get the joke about on this blog, I wonder if I could be right after all.
The two of them just act so wierd. Like a surrealistic painting. Everything is just a couple of degrees off the mark. Kerry windsurfing? He’s scary.
Opinion?
erp:
You’re right that he’s scary. Be afraid. Be very, very afraid. But at the same time, don’t worry: it looks more and more like W’s gonna take this one. Just a few more Kerry bullets in his own foot should assure that, and I’m sure that they’re exiting the muzzle as we speak.
As for being gay, I’ll stay in the “no comment” category. Then again, I cannot possibly imagine being married to that woman. Can you even imagine what dinner-table conversation is like?
John: “Would you pass the potatoes, please?”
Teresa: “Sure, you idiot. Here ya’ go, scumbag!”
“Kerry on, Kerry on; it doesn’t really matter…”
“Beelzebub has a devil put aside for him,for him,for him . . .”
“Bismillah! no-,we will not let you go. . .”
Bismillah – Arabic – Opening phrase of all suras in the Koran, meaning “In the name of God”
1. As I’m sure Jeff is aware, Scaramouche is the name of jfk’s $800,000 yacht. It is also the name of a stock character in Italian opera who gets in trouble because he exagerates his own achievements and importance. (All of this comes from an article on The American Thinker which is no longer available.)
2. Gay – Thanks to Ace of Spades, when I see Teresa I now think Elton John. (He may be her stunt double at any rate.)
Dude,
I’m sure you’ll see this is a non-sequitur comment. I mean, it is. So, unrelated to scaramouche, I noted one of your blogads on the left there. That chick in the AlternaTees ad, she’s smokin hot. If I agree to oppose Bush in the upcoming election, do you think she’d let me pork her?
f
Of course. Throw in a Happy Meal and a joint and she’ll let you bring two friends, probably.
(I kid the models. They don’t need a Happy Meal.)
Mama, I just killed a man…in Viet-friggin-Nam!
(Or was it Cambodia?)
OMG this is a great site Jeff. Your writing is wonderful.
Hee, Calliope, honey, you just said the magic words for Mr. Goldstein
Oh mama mia, mama mia,
Mama mia, I’ve got three Purple Hearts, let me go.
Bush = Punch ?
Beelzebub is most definitely Cheney. I think this calls for one of your trademark Cheney photoshops. Here’s something to work with. http://www.freddie.ru/cgi-bin/e/meta.pl?meta=photo/main.meta?html=picture?par=e0?PIC=12

I may be a day late and a dollar short on this thread, but Scaramouche was also a 19th century novel by Rafael Sabatini. It’s the source of the tag, “born with the gift of laughter and the sense that the world is mad.” This is, or at least was, inscribed around the doorway of a building at Yale under the impression that it was taken from one of the ancient classics. This has subsequently been the cause of some red faces among those who parade their Ivy erudition. Kerry is the type who deludes himself that he is dashing, and would fancy himself just such a lad as Sabatini describes. Thus, his yacht’s name. As to John and Teresa’s having to pass dishes to each other at table: highly improbable that they do without staff to pass them. And I could easily imagine what the Brits call a wild “dirty weekend” with her, but gender questions aside, the idea of getting in the sack with him is just too scary. What could she see in him, unless a portion of his anatomy is as long as his face and as rigid as his personality? I’m not the first to suggest he’s just another French gigolo. Surely he’s not just another Jerry Zipkin?
